What are the effects of painting on a humid day

It's been very wet and humid out here.....humid to the point where area of the house that never see *dew* on the windows, this morning, straight up sopping water - as if it rained inside the sunroom.

I went around just knocking some drips, etc - planning to do a quick sand on the walls. I can *feel* the primer is not fully dried. Don't plan to sand to induce lifting....

I guess I'll close the windows, crank up the HEAT and let the room dry out...

So what are the drawbacks of painting when it's straight up humid....aside from drying times. WILL it affect the bond of the paint, etc, etc...Supposed to be still be humid for the next couple of days.

All walls and floors were dusted and wiped with a wet MF. I DONT want to paint with the AC on as the airflow my be blowing around residual dust from remodeling.

I think you already know- will slow dry considerably. Unless the surface is actually wet before or soon after- "most times" will not be a problem. You are talking interior, i think. Use a fan. A lot. It really helps.
